The new film is By the Sea which has been described as an "intimate character driven drama" by Universal Pictures.
Speaking to Extra TV earlier this year Jolie, 39, said: "It's not a big movie, not an action movie. It's the kind of movie we love but aren't often cast in. It's a very experimental, independent type film where we get to be actors together and be really raw, open, try things."
It is the couple's first film together since Mr & Mrs Smith in 2005 which led to their off-screen romance.

Jolie has said she intends to do less acting in future an focus on work behind the camera and her role with the United Nations.
Donna Langley, co-chairman of Universal Pictures, said: "Angelina continues to showcase her extraordinary storytelling abilities in front of and behind the camera and we are thrilled to extend our relationship with her on By the Sea.
